Music Cup 2015 Round 8: Hundreds & Thousands

First topic message reminder :

Results!

Two big shocks this week in the scoring with Rick_Dagless and myself blowing our chances of a win with poor choices. We went old school with Frank Sinatra and the Beach Boys and it blew up in our faces.
CJB's choice meanwhile of Straight Outta Compton romped home with 10 points, is there a secret Crips and Bloods section on the site?
Compelling meanwhile is Mr Consistency, apart from his Elton John episode he's scored a minimum of 6 points in each round.
Adam creeps up the board with menace into 3rd place overall with the soft rock Boston, welcome to dullsville.
Then there's a load of guff fighting it out for the scraps, countries, cities, continents, jeez how difficult is it for you lot to understand a basic principle of a round, one round I'll just going to say pick a song on anything and one of you will still balls that up. Like herding cats at times.

I tend to prefer the 'The More Things Change' album, got a better groove to it and that song also references my username so had to be done, been listening to them and Opeth sh!t loads recently.

Repentless, opinions?

Friday!

Complicating, circulating
New round, new round
Operating, generating
New round, new round

Still waiting on Trebs, Dancingweeman, Truss and Nadz's choices

New round will be going up this evening though, I'm on a half day at work today due to going to a football tournament this afternoon.

Sorry - mine will be over to you shortly.

Goan someone throw another vote for Nena so I can get a share of the lions spoils

Results (Better late than never!)


The two top dogs show once again that their finger is on the pulse of picking songs that are bland, not obscure/offensive and appeal to the unwashed massive. Compelling & Tino get a big 10 points each and heading into the last two rounds it's a two horse race surely for the title!
Rick_Dagless suffers a Stevie Gerrard style slip up with a miserable 0 points for his Muse choice and has plummeted down to 5th in the overall ranking.
Adam looks to have won the battle of the founders as we both scored a respectable 7 points for Prince and Jay Z, but with 2 weeks remaining he's 6 points ahead of me.
The big surprise this week though is...

GALTED GOT SOME POINTS!!!!

He went more Old School than Bamber Gascoigne and it got him more points than Sean's had hot women (or women in general). He's up to a magnificent 18th place overall now and only 1 point behind Rowley, who'll prevail in the battle of the anti-hipsters?
